Camp Granna 2011 - Day 1

Yea - it is finally officially Camp Granna!!  On day 1 - June 20th - we began building a bird feeder. 

I had purchased a little precut bird feeder from Lowe's.  I thought it would be easy for the kids to do by themselves with minimal help. They loved putting it together.

Check out that plastic hammer that Rainey wanted to use and the concentration on Chandler's face!! 

Then I got out all my paints and let them choose their colors and paint it any way they wanted.  I didn't do any touch ups or smooth out the excess paint that Rainey added.  This was strictly their project.  :)

Chandler got creative with the stripes.  Rainey's favorite colors are pink and purple so she wanted a lot of those colors everywhere. 

This is the final product.  Chandler painted underneath the roof maroon and each side of the middle block a different color. Rainey painted the bottom of the feeder part pink and each edge a different color so it is definitely a colorful bird feeder.  Hopefully it is not too bright that it scares the birds away.  :)

After all that hard work they needed a snack.  Rainey loves watermelon and as you can see it is all gone but she wasn't stopping until she finished - juice an all. 

After swimming and dinner that evening . . .

 we had smores.  Yummy!!

Day 1 - Success!!
